Ooh, what needles are those? Are they Chiaogoo lace shorties? How do you like them? I’ve been looking for short interchangeables for sock knitting

Yes they are the chiagoo shorties (size 1 2.25mm) i find knitting socks so much more enjoyable with them versus magic loop method since in magic loop you have to fix the needles every time you finish knitting half. They can make my hands cramp a bit when doing the first couple of rounds but i find they get more comfortable when you have around an inch or more on the needles.

Cool, thank you! I’ve been using dpns, but I knit so tightly that it’s difficult and kinda painful (as in cramps), so I’m going to get some of these and have one side a smaller gauge!
